...FIRST REPORT OF THIS RESEARCH, PUBLISHED IN THE JUNE 1937 ISSUE OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY OF EXPERIMENTAL BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE NAMED FOUR AUTHORS: DR. CHARLES A. TOMPKINS, MISS GRACE WASHBURN, DR. MATHEW WINTERS AND MYSELF.

And with grim irony Benjamin Franklin, who enjoyed the title of Post master General for North America, is now reduced almost to extinction; he will grace the half-cent issue...
Last week when "Bishop" Grace arrived in Harlem to inspect his new property, and presumably to evangelize a rich new territory, Father Divine issued one of his prolix statements to his followers and the world: "It has been said that this place has been purchased by some individual. If it has been purchased, it was according to My Instruction. It was offered to My Followers and they were disinterested in it. They would not, nor did not, even so much as lease the building for a further length of time. . . . We have aplenty, aplenty of buildings. . . . We have accommodation...
